          “   ELENA,   YOU DUMPED HIS ASS.   ”    metal door swings shut,   fingers fiddling with lock before he finally meets her gaze.    “   isn’t change kinda what you were going for?   ”

‘ tyler … ‘    soft   spoken   ,    her   sighs   leave   little   to   be   said  .  shame   hollowed   out   from    the   grief   that    consumes   her  ;   that   clouds   her   judgement .   yet  ,  with   a  heart   so   filled   with   love  ,  how   could   it   be   that   she   just   didn’t   feel   the   same .   where   matt   was   a   fresh   blooming   spring  ,  elena   was   the   winter   chill   that   wrapped   florals   within   its   grasp  .  sure   enough  ,  a   frost   to   kill   them   both  .   it’s   with   widened   eyes   that   she   settles   upon   tyler’s   own  ,   corners   of   her   lips   falling   with   every   attempt   of   retort .    ‘ i   don’t   know .  ‘    the   first    honest    thing   she’d   said  .    ‘  i   guess   i   just   thought  .  . .   i  mean   we’ve   all   been   through   a  lot .   i   thought   he’d   understand  . ‘
